n-Serve message

Posted by: Richard Morris on 17 July 2016

Has anyone ever had a 'could not rename album' message? And if so - is there a workaround? I can edit the artist name and the genre.

[Album was part of a box set, not recognised by any of the databases so I'm manually editing. All other cds in the box are editable.]

When I had the HDX, I've learned that it was not possible editing albums when they were actually playing. Also when you rip an album to FLAC, the HDX will do the conversion after the ripping is finished.

On both occasions, you'll get this message...

Thanks for the suggestion. The cd was ripped yesterday and has not been played yet. I am using FLAC but there is nothing in the encoding queue - and I can edit all the other metadata.

I wonder whether you are inadvertently leaving in or adding an unallowed character. You could try highlighting the whole of the existing name and paste a simple name like "New name" without the "" of course on top of it.

Thanks - that's solved it but creates another curiosity. The box set is Hommage à Neshui.

On four of the cds the à is allowed - on the fifth it isn't unless you cut and paste, rather than type.

That is weird but at least you now have a workaround!

In my experience, the uServe does NOT like such characters -- best to stick with the 26 uppercase and 26 lowercase Roman alphabet characters only.
